Summer Preschool - That's MY Name (Week 3)

This summer I hosted a summer learning experience for preschool age children.  I did it in our home and took 8 kids, plus my 2 preschoolers.  My big kids were enlisted as helpers.  We ran 2 hours in the morning, 2 days a week and filled those hours to the brim with learning and fun.
We had to juggle the schedule of weeks a little, because Mia got sick after our very first day but everyone was really understanding and we had such a good time!

Week 3 was That's MY Name.
(June 20th & June 22nd)

This week focused on name recognition!
Each child had a letter road book with the letters in their names in it.

I also made each child a popsicle stick puzzle and a clothespin activity using their names.
Magically appearing names!
Dot your name.
Ahh, worn out and ready for pick up...reading books while they wait for parents.

We tried to spell names from Alphabits cereal.  The cereal failed us - there wasn't every letter.
 This was a fun activity!
After they found their names, they worked on tracing them with water and paintbrushes.
